Education
Berry received a Bachelor of Science (1993) and Master of Science (1995) degrees from the University of Melbourne, and received training in cell biology as well as in light microscopy and electron microscopy.
Career
Since 1995, Berry has been a biomedical animator at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research.Drew Berry by Colin Martin, The Lancet, Volume 377, Issue 9769, Page 895 [http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2811%2960338-3/fulltext] 12 March 2011 His 3D and 4D animations have focussed on explaining cellular and molecular processes relevant to research conducted at the institute, in fields including molecular biology, malaria, cell death, cancer biology, hematology and immunology.[http://www.wehi.edu.au/education/wehitv/ WEHI.TV Animations]
Berry's animations have received many awards and commendations. His animations which formed part of Harold Varmus' 'Genes and Jazz' presentation were described by The New Yorker as "astonishingly beautiful".Swing Science by Paul Goldberger, The New Yorker [http://www.newyorker.com/talk/2008/12/01/081201ta_talk_goldberger] 1 December 2008 In 2009 American Scientist stated "The admirers of Drew Berry... talk about him the way Cellini talked about Michelangelo."American Scientist, Science Observer: Molecular Movie Stars [http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/pub/molecular-movie-stars] September–October 2009 Volume 97, Number 5 Page: 382
In 2010, the New York Times claimed "If there is a Steven Spielberg of molecular animation, it is probably Drew Berry"Where Cinema and Biology Meet [https://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/16/science/16animate.html] 15 November 2010.
After collaborating with Berry for the Biophilia animated music app, the musician Björk described Berry as "someone who has made scientifically correct animation of DNA… on this project, he has crossed the line beautifully into the artistic realm where he has animated gorgeous DNA but added some poetic licence... he truly has brought magic to our insides, and shows us that we don’t have to look far for the miracle of nature, it is right inside us!"[http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/11179/1/drew-berrys-bio-animations Drew Berry's Bio-Animations] Dazed Digital Dazed & Confused August 2011 Issue
